Proxied web access for control devices on industrial control systems

An industrial control system includes a plurality of control devices providing control signals to direct an industrial process and a web access module including a web server, an Internet interface and a control network interface. Each of the control devices includes web page data concerning a respective web page associated with the respective control device. The Internet interface is couplable to a remote device via the Internet, and the control network interface is coupled to the control devices. The web access module is able to receive requests from the remote device to access the web pages associated with the control devices. In response to the requests, the web access module obtains the web page data concerning the web pages for which access has been requested, processes the data at the server, and sends data signals related to the data onto the Internet to be received by the remote device.
